Acura TL Base Sedan 4-Door (2006)
for sale

Price: US $8,000.00

Description:

Before you start reading all the good stuff about this car, please note...
This car has a manual stick-shift transmission. Sadly, it seems like driving stick is a dying art. If you cannot drive stick/manual, or you're not willing to learn, this is not the right car for you.
OK, on to the good stuff.

MAINTENANCE
I take very good care of my cars. Please see the attached maintenance log for details.
I have never had any serious problems with this car - everything has been regular stuff that you expect to wear out.
I spent over $1, 000 on Goodyear Comfort Tread tires about 35, 000 miles ago. They are designed to ride extra quiet. They are nice. One of the tires got damaged, and I had to replace it about 9, 000 miles ago. So that one is much newer. I spent over $1, 800 on a new clutch just 5, 000 miles ago. I spent $1, 500 on totally new brakes all around just 3, 000 miles ago, so they will be good for a long time.
MAINTENANCE DIAGNOSTICS
In October 2016, we checked this car with a computer diagnostic tool - the same thing the pros use to plug into your car and scan for maintenance codes. We confirmed there are no codes displaying to indicate any problems. So, the computer analysis shows this car is totally healthy.
FLAWS
Not many. This car has been wonderful for me for a long time.
There is a crack in the rear bumper where I got rear-ended at very low speed. I had it evaluated at a professional body shop (will provide documentation to you if you'd like) and they said it was purely cosmetic. The other driver wanted to keep it off their insurance, so I took the cash and never had it repaired. I've been covering it up with a bumper sticker.
Otherwise, just normal wear and tear on the car. There are a few dings in the paint that I covered up with a factory-match paint repair kit (included with sale). There are a few scuffs on the interior, but nothing serious. The floor mats have seen normal wear, especially from our salty winters.
WHY ARE YOU SELLING?
This has been a great car for me for a long time, with no serious maintenance hassles. That's why I bought an Acura to begin with - their reputation for excellent reliability. I'm selling because I needed something with more cargo space. I'm driving a hatchback now.
BOOK VALUE
If you buy from a used car retailer, Edmunds says you would expect to pay around $9, 000.
If you buy from a private seller like me, Edmunds says $7, 300, and Kelly Blue Book says $7, 400.
TEST DRIVE
For those of you familiar with Albany, I am just off Western Avenue, within walking distance of the SUNY-Albany campus and Stuyvesant Plaza shopping center.
For those of you coming from farther away, I am very close to the junction of Interstates 87 & 90. Once you exit the highway, my house is only about a mile away.
ASKING PRICE
Since I have been so good with maintenance, and the clutch and brakes are so new, I'm asking $8, 000. I am willing to negotiate with a serious buyer.
Please contact me to ask questions or to set up a time to take a look.
Thank you.
